SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS
Pursuant to the authority vested in the Westmoreland Planning Board by the voters of the Town of Westmoreland in August of 1972 and in accordance with the provisions of RSA 674:35 of the New Hampshire Revised Statutes Annotated, and as amended, the Westmoreland Planning Board adopts the following regulations governing the subdivision of land in the Town of Westmoreland, New Hampshire. These regulations are designed to accomplish the purposes set forth in RSA 674:36 and for the purpose of protecting the health, safety, convenience, and economic and general welfare of our citizens.
A.
Abutter: Any
person whose property if located in
B. Applicant: The owner of record of the land to be subdivided, or his/her designated agent.
C. Approval: Recognition by the Planning Board, certified by written endorsement on the plat, that the plat meets the requirements of these Regulations and in the judgment of the Board satisfies all criteria of good planning and design.
D. Approval, Conditional: Recognition by the Planning Board, certified by written endorsement on the plat, that the plat is not finally approved nor ready for filing with the Registry of Deeds until such time as certain conditions set forth by the Board are met.
E.
Board: The
Planning Board of the Town of
F.
G. Plat: The map, drawing or chart on which the plan of subdivision is presented to the Planning Board for approval, and which, if approved, will be submitted to the Register of Deeds of Cheshire County for recording.
H. Right-of-Way: A strip of land for which legal right of passage has been granted by the landowner to provide access to a lot, which lacks adequate frontage.
I. Street: A Class V or better highway for vehicular traffic as defined in RSA 231 which is laid out and maintained by the Town.
J. Street Frontage: That continuous portion of a lot, which abuts a public street. A right-of-way does not constitute frontage.
K. Subdivision: The division of a lot, tract, or parcel of land into two (2) or more lots, plats, sites, or other divisions of land for the purpose, whether immediate or future, of sale or building development. It includes resubdivision and, when appropriate to the context, relates to the process of subdividing or to the land or territory subdivided. The division of a parcel of land held in common and subsequently divided into parts among several owners shall be deemed a subdivision.
L. Subdivision, Major: A subdivision of four (4) or more lots, or one which involves the creation of new streets.
M. Subdivision, Minor: A subdivision of land into not more than three (3) lots for building development purposes, with no potential for resubdivision on an existing street; or one which does not involve the creation of new streets.
N. Subdivision, Technical: A subdivision of land into two lots or sites for the purpose of conveying one such lot or site directly to an abutting landowner. The parcel to be conveyed does not constitute a separate building lot; however, said parcel may be used for building development in conjunction with contiguous land owned by the abutter.
SECTION III General Requirements for the
Subdivision of Land
A. Character of Land for Subdivision: Land of such character that it cannot, in the judgment of the Board, be safely used for building development purposes because of exceptional danger to health or peril from fire, flood, poor drainage, excessive slope, or other hazardous conditions, shall not be platted for residential, commercial, or industrial subdivision, nor for such other uses as may increase danger to life or property, or aggravate the flood hazard.
B. Premature Subdivision: The Board may provide against such scattered or premature subdivision of land as would involve danger or injury to health, safety, or prosperity by reason of the lack of water supply, sewage disposal, drainage, transportation, schools, fire protection, or other public services which necessitate the excessive expenditure of public funds for the supply of such services (RSA 674:36.II(a).
C. Preservation of Existing Features: Wherever feasible, suitable steps shall be taken to preserve and protect significant existing features such as trees, scenic points, stone walls, rock outcroppings, water bodies, and historic landmarks. Where possible, the boundary line(s) should follow stone walls.
D. Septic Systems and Water Supply
1. It is the responsibility of the subdivider or his agent to provide the necessary state approvals for the installation and operation of an individual sewage disposal system. In subdividing parcels with existing dwellings, the subdivider must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Board that the existing septic system is in good working order.
2. All new wells shall have a radius of seventy-five (75) feet, said radius to be located entirely on its lot.
SECTION IV Subdivision Review Procedures
A. Preliminary Conceptual Consultation (Optional)
1. The applicant may request a meeting with the Board to discuss a proposal in conceptual form and in general terms. Although this phase is strictly optional, the Board strongly suggests that the applicant avail him/herself of the opportunity to resolve any issues at this early stage that might become a problem later on. Such preapplication consultation shall be informal and directed toward:
a) Reviewing the basic concepts of the proposal.
b) Reviewing the proposal with regard to the master plan and zoning ordinance.
c) Explaining the state and local regulations that may apply to the proposal.
d) Determination of the proposal as a major, minor, or technical subdivision, and the submission items that would re required.
2. Preliminary conceptual consultation shall not bind the Applicant or the Board. Such discussion may occur without formal public notice, but must occur only at a posted meeting of the Board.
B. Design Review Phase (Optional)
1. Prior to submission of an application for Board action, an applicant may request to meet with the Board or its designee for non-binding discussions beyond the conceptual and general stage, involving more specific design and engineering details of the potential application.
2. The design review phase may proceed only after identification of and notice to abutters and the general public as required by RSA 676:4,I(d).
3. Persons wishing to engage in preapplication design review shall submit a request to the Board not less than 15 days before the regularly scheduled meeting of the Board using the ‘Request for A Preapplication Review’ attached. The request shall include:
a) List of abutters and their addresses taken from municipal records not more than five (5) days before submission.
b) Check to cover mailing and advertising costs.
4. Statements made by Board members shall not be the basis for disqualifying said members or invalidating any action eventually taken on the application.
C. Submission of Completed Application (Required)
1. A completed application shall be filed with the Planning Board secretary at least 15 days before a regular meeting of the Board. A completed application shall consist of all data required in Section V of these regulations.
2. The Planning Board will review all plans for completeness. This review may take place at a regular meeting of the Board, or by a person or persons designated to review plans for completeness prior to submission to the Board. If the plan is incomplete, the applicant will need to provide the missing submission items before the Board will vote to accept the application.
3. Submission and acceptance of an application shall only occur at a regular meeting of the Planning Board after due notification has been given according to RSA 686:4,I(d). Acceptance will be by affirmative vote of a majority of the Board members present.
4. When the Board has accepted a Completed Application, the Board shall provide a receipt to the Applicant indicating the date of acceptance, which is the start of the 90-day review.
D. Board Action on completed Application
1. The Board shall begin consideration of the Completed Application within 30 days of its acceptance. The Board shall act to approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove the Accepted Application within 90 days of acceptance of the application.
2. The Board may apply to the Selectmen for an extension not to exceed an additional 90 days before acting to approve, conditionally approve or disapprove an application. An applicant may waive the requirement for Board action within the time periods specified in these regulations and consent to such extension as may be mutually agreeable.
3. Approval of the application shall be certified by written endorsement on the plat and signed and dated by the Chairman and Secretary of the Planning Board. If any application is disapproved, the grounds for such disapproval shall be adequately stated in the records of the Planning Board and in written notice given to the Applicant within 72 hours of the decision.
4. An approved plan shall be recorded by the Planning Board with the Register of Deeds of Cheshire County within 90 days of approval. Any subdivision plan not filed within this time frame shall be considered void.
E. Failure of the Planning Board to Act
1) In the event that the Planning Board does not act on an accepted application within the prescribed 90 days, the applicant may petition the Selectmen to issue an order directing the Planning Board to act within 30 days.
2) If the Planning Board fails to act within 40 days of this directive, the Selectmen must approve the application unless they find in writing that the plan does not comply with a local regulation. In the event the Selectmen fail to act, the applicant may petition superior court to approve the plan.
F. Conditional Approval
The Board may grant conditional approval of an application, but the plat will not be signed or recorded until all the conditions have been met. If the applicant has not complied with the conditions of approval within one (1) year, the approval is considered null and void and the applicant must submit a new subdivision application. A further public hearing is not required when such conditions:
1) are administrative in nature
2) involve no discretionary judgment on the part of the Board
3) involve the applicant’s possession of permits and approvals granted by other boards or agencies, such as the Department of Transportation, the Wetlands Board, or Water Supply and Pollution Control Division; however, any subsequent change to the plan required such approvals would constitute grounds for a new application process.
G. Expedited Review
1) The Planning Board may allow for an expedited review of applications for lot line adjustments, technical subdivisions or minor subdivisions, as defined in Section II of these regulations.
2) The Completed Application may be submitted, accepted and voted on at the same meeting provided the public notice so indicates.
3) The Board may waive certain plat requirements for lot line adjustments, minor or technical subdivisions.
H. Public Hearing
Prior to approval of a subdivision, a public hearing shall be held pursuant to RSA 676:4,I(d) with notice given to the applicant, abutters, and the public. Public hearings may be waived for lot line adjustments. Minor or technical subdivisions do not require public hearing unless requested by the Planning Board, the applicant or any abutters, except that public notice shall be given prior to approval of the application. If a public hearing is to be held, it shall follow the procedures as outlined in Paragraph I of this section.
I. Notification
1) Notice of a Design Review, submission of a Completed Application, or a Public Hearing shall be given by the Board to the abutters and the Applicant by certified mail, mailed at least ten (10) days prior to the submission. The public will be given notice at the same time by posting at the Town Hall and the Post Office and publication in the Keene Sentinel.
2) The notice shall give the date, time, and place of the Planning Board meeting at which the Application or other item(s) will be formally submitted to the Board, shall include a general description of the proposal which is to be considered, and shall identify the Applicant and the location of the proposal.
3) If the notice for the public hearing was included in the notice of submission or any prior notice, additional notice of the public hearing is not required. Additional notice is not required of an adjourned session of a hearing provided that the date, time, and place of the adjourned session was made known at the prior meeting.
J. Fees
1) A fee of $55.00 to reimburse the Board for its administrative and notification costs involved in processing applications shall accompany all applications.
2) All costs of notices, whether mailed, posted, or published, shall be paid in advance by the Applicant. Failure to pay costs shall constitute valid grounds for the Board to not accept the application as complete.
3) All applicants are responsible for the recording cost at the Register of Deeds of Cheshire County of an approved, signed and dated plat.
4) Pursuant to RSA 676:4,I(g), it shall be the responsibility of the Applicant, if the Board deems it necessary, to pay reasonable fees for special investigative studies, environmental assessments, legal review of documents, administrative expenses and other matters which may be required to make in informed decision on a particular application. Failure to pay such costs shall constitute valid grounds for the Board to terminate further consideration of the application and to disapprove the plat without a public hearing.
K. Site Inspections
1) Whenever the Board deems it necessary for the consideration of an application to visit the site, the Board shall request permission from the applicant. Inclusion of the public at the site inspection is at the discretion of the applicant.
2) Such a site inspection shall be posted as a meeting of the Board pursuant to the Right-to-Know provisions of RSA 91-A. If there is a quorum present at the site inspection, minutes shall be kept.
3) All applications are conditioned upon the owner allowing access to the property, to the extent reasonable and necessary to properly review the application. Denial of access automatically terminates any further consideration of the proposal.
L. Concurrent and Joint Hearings.
The applicant may request a joint hearing with one or more land use boards in conjunction with a subdivision hearing if all are required for the same project.
